Leaking
my mira sport shower seems to be leaking from the top of the oval casing of the switching assembly? Any help most appreciated.

The Sport Max doesn’t have a switching assembly it uses a PCB I think you may be mistaken it for the flow valve, which if it is leaking would mean replacing the flow valve
That is assuming that this is your shower http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/mira/MIRA-PARENT-21-Mira-Sport-Max (This is where the ticket came from)
However from your description this could also be your shower. http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/mira/MIRA-PARENT-17-Mira-Sport---post-1996
If this is the case you will need a pilot valve

If this is the case you will need a pilot valve
The pilot valve is a common fault
Turn off water and power
Put something in the waste just encase you drop a screw!
Remove cover
Remove splash plate at pipe entry
Remove 4 screws from 'U' clamps and 'U' clamps
Later models have “Torx” screws so you will need a “Torx” screwdriver with a T10 Bit.
Remove screw above letter 'A' on drawing
Ease pilot valve forward (if there is no movement on the pipe work you will have to disconnect it at the inlet connection take care to hold the brass body with pliers when slackening the nut)
Swap the wires over from one pilot valve to the other one by one
Then reassemble
Turn on water and allow the water to come thru unit before switching on power.
Easy init!!!!!
